PITY THE GUY

He lost his pretend friend,

Their relationship had to end…

Now he is looking

At who is cooking,

Another with whom to pretend.

–

Another redhead–he thinks,

As at a brunette he winks…

The unattainable

His fanciful

Object to dream instincts.

–

The problem with fantasy lovers

Is dealing with them when uncovered…

Embarrassing times

Paying for lines

Spoken unguarded to others!

–

Better stay with the woman you’d got,

That, anyway, is my lot…

But tendencies to

Think things one might rue,

Warn of being put on the spot.
